willland Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa27jc-klipsch-heresy-ii-original-vintage-speakers-speakers As much as I love my Heresy 2s in WO, I would not even dare to ask $1299.00 for mine, and they are in better shape than the ones in the ad. "WHO WE ARE: SkyFi Audio is a small startup business specializing in the purchase, reconditioning, and reselling of select high-end audio equipment. We only buy equipment the we admire and are passionate about. No mid-fi, no gimmicks, no junk." As a startup business, one of the first things to do is to do some market research, specifically, market value of goods. "Each piece of equipment is cosmetically restored" Wow. "We like this model so much we permanently installed four of them in our shop as the "house system" and listen to them every day! (see our photos)" On a positive note, very nice of them. I did not post this to really down the seller, but am a bit confused. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Most all the Heritage line is getting way up there in asking price. What the sellers are actually getting.....who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not trying to paint this seller as a fraud, but I do think their marketing department needs a bit more training. I will also say this, they sure do have some nice gear to sell with some decent prices. They just got the Heresy 2s price(and condition) wrong. https://www.audiogon.com/stores/skyfi Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking $8K (plus shipping) for a pair of Altec Valencias is comical (and I'm an Altec fan). This has vanity project written all over it. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa27ij-altec-valencia-864a-vintage-horn-speakers-a-true-survivor-pair-full-range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 SkyFi synonymous with thieving NUT JOB or New York Dealer........................................He had a pair of reworked 12" tannoy drivers up some time ago I offered to trade him a primaluna AMP and Preamp in MINT condition that retailed for 4600.00 his drivers were 1600.00 . He said he would thake the PL gear and 1200 for his drivers. I passed of course. Just another nut trying to take advantage of the hobby...............He must get some business though obviously from the ill informed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
